There was so much hype around this product before it came to New Zealand. When my Secret Santa from last year added it to her wishlist, I sourced a way to get it here for her...and snuck in a couple for me.
The packaging is relatively simple, it's clear to show that the product is clear as well, and has a cute pink lid. It doesn't wow me, but it's functional. The product itself feels slightly greasier than just regular water. I got a bit worried after reading reviews that it might break me out. And unfortunately using it just as a remover and not following it up with anything, that's what happened. It was like it left a slightly oily layer on my skin - and while I slept my skin went to town...and broke out.
BUT! I love it as a gentle make up remover - it removes the most stubborn eye make up, it takes recently applied foundation off quickly and it even gets my long last lipstick off without making my lips feel awful. Its just that I have to follow up with something to get that layer off my skin, the 10 0 6 toner I use does the trick with a quick sweep.
I don't know if I will repurchase after I use mine up, the main use for me is eye make up remover and I would like to try another one before making my mind up. Will follow up when I do that.
I first tried this at my mum's house when I was visiting for my birthday, as she got a trial through BR. I tried it after my party and thought it was great so I bought some for myself. Now I'm not 100% sold on it. It was good for removing my foundation easily but I've now switched to double wear and it doesn't take that off so easily. It is good for removing my eye-makeup but I do find that I have to wipe over my eyes quite a bit to get all the eyeliner/mascara off so it's not quite the "no rub" it says. Overall I wouldn't rave about it, but it's not bad either. It will definitely last a long time as you don't need much to soak a cotton pad which is a bonus.
Tips: Don't put a soaked swisspers pad straight onto your eyelids, it seeped into my eyes and stung a bit! lesson learned!
